Why they chose this property

Welcome to Ocean Beach, where the sun sets on San Diego!

I absolutely adore OB. Interstate-8 ends at OB, making it a destination, not a flow-through. As you enter the OB community, you will find a low-key beach community filled with flair and personality, and one of the last truly-authentic surfing communities remaining in Southern California.

The cottage is conveniently located close to restaurants, shopping, and all the sites and attractions San Diego is known for - a genuine wonderland to spend entire days with family and friends - all within a short walk or drive to:

1. Sea World
2. San Diego Zoo and Animal Safari Park
3. Lego Land
4. Concert / Theater Venues
5. Balboa Park - one of the oldest urban cultural parks - with over 15 museums, 15 gardens, and 10 attractions and venues... including the World Famous San Diego Zoo
6. Local Universities include USD, UCSD, San Diego State, and Point Loma Nazarene
7. Downtown / Convention Center and Gas Lamp District
8. Coronado Island / Military Facilities
9. Our gorgeous beaches - 70 miles of pristine coastline...
10. ... and year-round sunshine and mild temperatures so you can enjoy the surf and sand almost any day of the year.

Welcome to San Diego!

What makes this property unique

The Garden Cottage sits in the residential neighborhood of Ocean Beach (OB) - between Sunset Cliffs and the OB business district. The cottage is close enough to stay connected to the local scene (walk to the public beach, restaurants, dining and shopping) but far enough away to enjoy quite relaxation, sounds of splashing waves, and the ease of on-street parking - often right in front of the cottage.

OB is a low key beach community filled with flair and personality. Said differently, OB offers the pitch perfect throw-back groovy vibe of a vintage Southern California beach town, coupled with friendly locals, great dining, and a vibrant beach and surf scene.

The Garden Cottage sits two blocks from the coastline and secluded beaches, and is a short 5-20 min stroll to shops, restaurants, entertainment, and the public beach - offering lifeguard-supervised swimming and surfing areas, restrooms, and showers.

The Garden Cottage is also centrally located and a short 5-15 min drive to most area Universities, Sea World, Downtown/Convention Center, and Balboa Park - the nation's largest urban cultural park. Balboa Park is home to 15 major museums, renowned performing arts venues, beautiful gardens and the world famous San Diego Zoo. The Park has an ever-changing calendar of museum exhibitions, plays, musicals, concerts, and classes—all in the beautiful and timeless setting.

Enjoy your visit!
